While at first glance this book may seem expensive, please keep in mind:
- The book contains a massive amount of information. It is a very large book at 8½ x 11 x 1.5 inches (22x28x4 cm), with nearly 200,000 words, 600 graphics, and 600 full-color pages.
- The only other way to gain this level of information in one place is to attend a $2500.00 CODESYS Intensive training course. This book represents a 90% savings over that option.
- At the fully burdened cost of most controls engineers and technicians, this book will pay for itself in a very short time versus searching multiple sources for the information, or by trial-and-error.
- Over 9000 hours have gone into the making of the content of this book, and the book has a narrowly-focused audience. Unfortunately, it does not enjoy the economy of scale of a Harry Potter(tm) book. At current sales rates, it will take many years to break even on the investment.
- The development of this book is entirely independently created and self-funded. This book is not subsidized by CODESYS, and it can't be used as a loss-leader for other sales. It must stand on its own.
- This book will need to be frequently updated to keep up with the frequent improvements and enhancements to CODESYS. Therefore, the book must be Print on Demand and cannot benefit from the significant cost savings of higher volume offset printing. This updating represents significant additional ongoing effort which further extends the break-even period.
- This book is essentially a college textbook, where in comparison, its price is typical.
An accompanying 600+ slide PowerPoint presentation is available for qualified educators which includes answers to some extra credit questions and final project. Also, quantity discounts are available starting at 5 books (to the same address). Contact "sales at BookOfCodesys dot com" for more information.
